Part Name: Knob, Parking Brake Push Rod
Part Number: 47142-671-010
Availability: As of April 03, 2023 these (along with all CB7 OEM parts) are getting scarce. Several sources report either back-ordered or discontinued.
I personally contacted Majestic Honda and they inform me these parts are still available but may take about a week for them to arrive to the dealer.
Bottom line, if you want them or suspect you might need them... get them now. Current price is $5.87 + Shipping

Finally figured out a solution of how to replace the chrome release tip
What is helpful is you don't need to remove the console to do this. Mine was already off for an unrelated project.
Before I started this I planned to remove the handbrake plastic trim cover (tan) hoping it would expose some release catch but apparently it isn't designed to separate.
As you can see trying to remove the old button with my channel locks only resulted in shearing it in half. That out of the way I approached this the same as if a bolt had snapped off and needed removal.
So I began with a 1/8" drill bit and drilled a series of holes around the button face.
I avoided drilling too close to the threaded metal shaft and possibly damaging any threads.
Eventually I drilled enough holes to weaken the button's remaining structure and grip.
Now it was a simple matter of backing it off counterclockwise using a pair of needle-nose pliers.
While unscrewing the button be careful not to loose the spring which is under tension and will easily pop off across the car if you're not careful.
This picture doesn't clearly show the shaft as threaded but it is.
Old broken button with spring.
New shiny button with spring.
Reinsert and hand thread back on.
A jar cap gripper given to me by the salesman who sold me my first new Accord an 89SE-i. One of the the most useful gadgets I ever received...
So of course it was perfect to tighten the new button without marring the finish.
Installed... somehow I don't recall the old button protruding this much. In my research someone mentioned the button may have a tapered thread so when it's tightened by hand it may not turn down completely. The problem is how to tighten it more without risking damage the finish?
Perhaps adding a small spray of silicon lubricant into the threaded button hole prior to installing may work. Please post if you figure out a better way. For now its on well enough so I won't tempt fate.
After testing it multiple times it functions perfectly.
I hope you find this helpful...
